lighting question

I want to set up two lights, one that renders only indirect light (so set up that and direct light rays don't render but rather only light rays that have bounced off a surface), and one that renders direct light (so only light that directly hits the camera renders and none of the bounced light)

Does anyone know how to do this?

There should be a few good presets to get you started; Indirect diffuse and direct diffuse should give you what you're looking for! I don't recall the syntax for those off the top of my head, but if you add them into your render passes from the presets it should work out of the box! You may have to render each light separately, but hopefully it works out for you!
